Oklahoma inmate jailed for 32 years for bathtub theft
Harold Josephus Standfield, 44, an Oklahoma City native, has served a 32 year sentence since 1972 for a junk bathtub theft. He maintains innocence, says his friend who loaded the tub got five years and is paroled. Standfield writes poetry in prison and has published a booklet with Oklahoma Poet Laureate Leslie McRill as publisher. He remains hopeful for parole while supporting a prison boxing program.
